This circuit contains a frequency synthesizer and
a loop filter for an FM and AM radio tuning system. Only a V
is required to build a complete
CO
PLLsystem.
For FM and SW application, the counter works in
a twostages configuration.
The first stage is a swallow counter with a four
modulus(:32/33/64/65)precounter.
The loopgain can be set for different conditions.
After a power on reset, all registers are reset to
zero andthe standbymode is activated.
In standby mode, oscillator, reference counter,
AM input and FM input are stopped. The power
consumption is reducedto a minimum.
3.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PLL
FREQUENCYSYNTHESIZER
The second stage is an 8-bit programmable
counter.
For LW and MWapplication, a 14-bit programmable counteris available.
Thecircuit receives the scaling factors for the pro-
3.1 INPUT AMPLIFIERS
The signals applied on AM and FM input are amplified to get a logic level in order to drive the fre-
quency dividers.
grammable counters and the values of the reference frequencies via a three line serial bus interface.
The reference frequencyis generatedby a 4MHz
XTALoscillatorfollowed bythe reference divider.
An external oscillator (f = 4MHz) can be used instead of the internal one; it must be connectedto
OSCIN (pin 7).
3.1.1 Input Impedance
The typical input impedance: for the FM input
is 200Ω and forAM input is 1.4kΩ.
3.1.2 Input sensitivity
(seeFigures 1a and 1b).
The reference step-frequency is 1 or 2.5kHz for
AM. For FM mode a step frequency of 12.5 and
25kHzcan be selected.
The circuit checks the format of the received data
words.
Valid data in the interface shift register are stored
automatically in buffer registers at the end of
transmission.
The output signals of the phase detector are
switching the programmablecurrent sources.
Their currents are integrated in the loop filter to a
DC voltage.The values of the current sources are
programmable by two bits also received via the
serialbus.
The loop filter amplifier is supplied by a separate
positive power supply, to minimize the noise in-
3.2 DATAAND CONTROLREGISTER
3.2.1 Register Location
The data registers (bit2...bit7) for the control
register and the data registers PC7...PC0,
SC5...SC0 for the counters are organized in
fourwords, identified by two addressbits (bit 7
and bit 6), bit 7 is the first bit to be sentby the
controller, bit0 is the last one. The order and
the number of the bytes to be transmitted is
free of choice. The modification of the
PC7...PC0 registers is valid for the internal
counters only after transmission of byte 4
(SC5...SC0).

3.4 OPERATINGMODE
Four operating modes are available:
- FM mode,
- AMswallow mode,
- AMdirect mode,
- Standbymode
They are user programmable with the SWR/DIR
and AM/FM bits in the byte 2.
Standby mode: all functions are stopped. This allowslow current consumptionwithout lost of informationin all register, it is activatedby forcing bit 0
(AM/FM)and bit 1 (SWM/DIR)both at zero value.

3.4.1 FM and AM (SW) Operation (Swallow
Mode)
The FM or AM signal is applied to a four
modulus: 32/33/64/65 high speed prescaler,
which is controlled by a 6 bit divider ’A’.This
divider is controlled by the 6 bit SC register.
In parallel the output of the prescaler is connected to a 8 bit divider ’B’. This divider is
controlled by the 8 bit PC register. For FM
mode with 25kHz reference frequency operation, the divider A is a 5 bit divider. The high
speed prescaler is working in : 32/33 dividing
mode. Bit 6 of the SC register has to be kept
to ”0”.
